To all those are planning to take the exam, make sure to understand concepts what you learn or practice as the question in the exam are designed more on the concepts on which you build Marketo.
Hello to all of my fellow aspirants! As the program has come to an end, I am going to summarize the quizzes, give you additional resources to address other topics of interested and bid you farewell. As the program technically ended last week, I wanted to give you one more week of information. There is so much to cover and while we weren't able to cover it all in the few weeks we had, I trust that you will take the practice exam and look at the additional resources available to you (I will outline them here). Thank you so much for being a valued member of this program. I loved the engagement and hope you all will update this thread or email me with your results!

Quizzes + Extra Knowledge:
Quiz #1
Fun Fact: You cannot modify, move or delete the default segment.
More on segmentation:
Quiz #2: All about Admin/Maintenance Pt 1 - User Roles, Permissions and Workspaces
Fun fact: While you can edit some of the roles, you cannot edit all of them. You are unable to edit Admin and Standard User Roles. If you have a unique use case for another type of user, you can create a new role entirely.
Pro Tip: Find out if your company has a policy/procedure in place for assessing user roles and permissions. There should be at minimum a policy in place to remove users from the instance after a separation (resignation, layoff, etc.) If there isn’t a policy, propose one for brownie points with your boss/HR.
Quiz #3 All about Admin/Maintenance pt 2 - System Managed Fields, Syncing, Audit Trail
Quiz #4: All about personalization / tokens - Marketing Activities
Fun fact: There is a naming structure for where tokens are created.
Local Token: created in that program or folder (token is local to the program)
Inherited Token: Token created up the tree in a higher level program or folder
Overridden Token: Inherited and someone made an exception in the program or folder
You can create global variables (tokens) and then override them at lower levels in the tree.
Because of this, make sure that references to tokens are not broken when you are moving programs and folders.
moving programs and folders.
Quiz #5: Marketing Activities - Programs, Smart Campaigns and Lists
When checking the program schedule to see how many people would be sent the email, there are 0 people in the smart campaign schedule tab. Assuming the list was uploaded prior, What is the issue?
A - The Marketer needs to create the flow steps first.
B - The Marketer should look at the control panel to view the number of leads.
C - The filter used is incorrect, it should reference the static list
D - There is no issue with the setup.

Quiz #1 Answers:
Quiz #2 Answers: All about Admin/Maintenance pt 1 - User roles and permissions.
Sharing across workspaces:
Cloning across workspaces:
Important note: If a program contains members you cannot move this program to another workspace.
Use case for workspaces: Marketing assets do not overlap/are entirely different among the spaces. One of the most common use cases is for region: North America, EMEA, APAC, etc.
Another related topic: Person Partitions - These are essentially separate databases for your leads. They do not interact with each other, meaning there is no de-duping between them and there can be overlap among the partitions. Example, I could sign up for Company A communications and Company B communications. These 2 companies could be owned by the same parent company, but operate with separate partitions. Therefore, I could receive marketing communications from both because I would exist in both of their "databases" if that is how the company has the partition set up.
For more on workspaces and partitions, you can read this experience league doc by Adobe.

Hello aspirants!
It is crazy to think that the program is ending. The run dates for the program are: May 17th , 2024 – June 21st, 2024. I will do some final wrap up for an extra week this week since I feel like there is still so much to cover.
Thanks @AshleighMo,
unfortunately, I have no time to run another test this week, but I'd appreciate it if you could cover, with the final quiz, the reporting topic.
We are not using it due to an internal reporting tool, so I'm not using it very often.

Hi @AshleighMo ,
Quiz 4 was indeed a very tricky quiz.
I am sure we all were bowled on both question 1 & 4. Thank you for such questions, this clearly helps in understanding the importance of reading & understanding the options very carefully.
For Q4 although Preheader is not exactly in email editor but its definitely a part of Email setting.
